A true friend is that person who avoids you to make bad actions which can make you in troubles, he is that person who doesn't let you to cry but who stop you before to commit that action which will lead you to cry..

hi there friend...
We all have friends. A lot gets talked about friendships. Everyone wants a true friend, and many of us believe that we have a friend who can be called a true friend. What kind of relations do friends share? When can we call a friend a true friend, and when can our friends take us as their true friend. After a romantic relationship, friendships are the most important relationships we can have. Though all of us have family and distant family, most of us rely on friends for advice, comfort and inspiration. How do we define a relation that can be called as one of true friendship?
The very first sign of a very good friend, not necessarily a true friend is that we are not worried about courtesies. You will call your friend at any hour and talk without any thought of time in your mind. Similarly, whenever you need support, you will call a very good friend and ask him/her to help you out. They expect the same from you. Another important trait of such relations is that we are not much worried about exposing ourselves. We speak about everything in our mind without worrying about what our friends will think. We are sure that they will take our talk in the spirit it was made. We are unguarded and open with friends in our talk.
A true friend is a little more than a very good friend. A true friend will support you even if it hurts his/her own interest. A true friend will understand your motives and needs and will be with you without any analysis or criticism. A true friend will come forward to help without any request and be with us in need without showing it or expecting anything in return. With a true friend, you can be sure that you will get help to the extent possible by him/her. Nothing will remain unturned. A mother is a true friend of her children. If we share such relations with an adult we can say that we are true friends.
A true friend makes no excuses of having work or appointments or anything but will be with you whenever you need him/her. In your hour of desperation, a true friend will support you even if the whole world opposes you. A true friend is not an opportunist. A true friend means to have someone who is like mother, as I said earlier. Instead of having hundreds of good friends, if you have a true friend, treat yourself lucky. If you can also become a true friend of someone, you will be blessed, because it is much easier for all of us to expect but very difficult to give. Be a true friend yourself first.
having a true friend is really hard to find...
keeping them safe in our hearts will treasure a true and good everlasting friendship...
so talking care of them is a must to have a happy friendship!forever...
thanks!
have a nice evening!
cheers!

A true friend to me just needs to be trustworthy and not jealous. They need to carry a what you see is what you get personality. You dont want to worry that they would be talking about you or willing to take something away from you when you arent looking or when the first opportunity arises.

True Friendship Poem
A true friend will be loyal no matter what the cost,
They would never put you down or try to be your boss.
In trouble or in heartache a shoulder they will share,
They'll always try to show you how very much they care.
A true friend will always be there in good times and in bad.
They'll try to make you laugh whenever you're feeling sad.
And I know without a doubt that a true friend I have in you.
And I hope that you do know that I'm a true friend too.
thats what a true friend is...
One who is honest and compassionate. One who is able to respect you for who and what you are, what you stand for and what you don't stand for. I am fortunate to have exceptionally good friends and i am very grateful for their presence in my life
